After getting both engines out, I started moving things over to the 4d55. (I wish I had marked the wiring from the 4d55 a little better, it would have saved a bunch of time in the end).
For some reason, I was determined to saved the glow plug controller setup, with resistor, and original glow plug type.
The one thing I had read about was the manual starter needing to be flipped around to work with the auto flexplate. I will touch on that later one.
For some reason, it made more sense to swap the powersteering lines, reservoir, and pump from the 1st gen, as it all bolted up well.
The 87 2.6 truck had the powersteering being cooled from the oil cooler, and the transcooler just cooling the transmission.
I decided to cool my turbo with the original oil cooler, and leave my powersteering uncooled like the first gen was (I may change this later on, but I am light enough on my powersteering for now).
The 87 2.6 truck was an A/C truck, but for ease of the swap (for now), I decided to delete it.
Living in Utah, something will need to be done by next summer.
Obviously, the entire exhaust system was going, and the gas tank needed to be cleaned out.
The fuel lines were easy, and I just reused the original tank with new hoses.
